They said it was impossible.
That the chance of victory was too small.
Then the Cubs won the World Series
with the same odds as Trump’s.

People took comfort in projections.
Maybe even got a little complacent.
And the Cubs proved last night
that the unimaginable can happen.

They were all but written off.
But through extra innings, and rain delays,
their comeback proved the old adage
that “it ain’t over ’til it’s over.”

When the unthinkable happens in baseball
it’s a fairytale come true.
If it happens in this election,
it’ll be a nightmare beyond imagination.

In politics, like baseball, it ain’t over ’till it’s over.
And even if you’re ready for this to be over,
there are just a few days left to do all you can
to make sure it’s the ending you’re hoping for.

Come out for our final pre-election gathering
of likable libation-lifting liberals
at your local progressive social club.

It’s not just that on Monday night Donald Trump
bullied, interrupted constantly and lied repeatedly,
it’s that he followed the debate with accusations
of moderator bias and even a rigged microphone.

Or that he was called out for insulting a Miss Universe,
calling her “Miss Piggy” and “Miss Housekeeping,”
or that he had no reply to this during the debate,
it’s that he doubled down on the insults the next day.

Or that he was ill-prepared to debate and ill-fit to lead,
that he boasted of his tax evasions and bankruptcies,
of broken contracts and his own wealth,
it’s that he then claimed he had the best “temperament.”

Donald Trump showed his temper, that’s for sure.
And he put the “mental” into “temperamental.”

Hillary Clinton combined the best of Bernie’s agenda,
with her own signature style and stamina,
as Donald took the bait, and she took the debate.

And yet, this race is still neck and neck.
